The 2nd song from our new concept album The Bone Asylum, we are proud to release “Eclipse” featuring guitar performances by Michael Angelo Ormando. Available today on iTunes, Apple Music, Amazon.com, Spotify, Google Music Store, and soon on and many other fine digital outlets.

At this stage in our story, Olivia Orpheus is wracked with grief after the loss of her lover Alan to terminal cancer. She seeks out answers. She ponders what, or even IF there is a future for her:

lyrics

black sun dawning on my technicolor dayold goths never die they only fade to greyblackness surrounds me but I’m not the only oneI recognize resentment in the eyes behind the sun.

don’t take away this love I have longed forplease take away this pain….My heart is filled with untouched emotioneclipsed by endless rain

white orb light fills me and I am complete againif wholeness can be measured when your barely even sanekilling my presence until there is nothing left to seenothing but the emptiness you’ve left inside of me…

don’t take away this love I have longed forplease take away this painMy heart is filled with untouched emotioneclipsed by endless-

rain beats on my windowa million stars descending downshattered drops of crystalburst on the pavement with no soundin these tears I wander my essence dead but mortal boundwithout your sun my shadowis hidden in this earthly shroud

don’t take away this love I have longed forplease take away this painmy heart is filled with untouched emotioneclipsed by endless rain

don’t take away this love I have longed forplease take away this painmy heart is filled with untouched emotioneclipsed by endless rain

It was exactly ten years ago today that we released our debut album, The Electric Haze. In celebration of this date, we’ve slashed 25% off of the price of physical CD and digital copies for a limited time at CDBaby.com! If you have never picked up a copy, now is the time to do it!

In late 2010 we announced that we would be releasing a handful of tracks that had not been released widely, or were tracks that we enjoyed but felt did not fit well into the new album, so we decided to release these separately as singles.

“Drumeria” is the third of these singles.

In 2002, we debuted our Dead Poets Society music video, “Synners”(which you can check out here if you like), at the first annual Parkdale Film Festival.

In order for the video to meet festival requirements some end credits were added, and this track was composed to back those end credits.

The image on the cover of the single is a still from the film festival edit of the “Synners” video, and features Ryan Mann from Hotboxed (who performed guest vocals on the song, and co-wrote the story for the video). Ryan Mann, performing live with Hotboxed.

The track has been requested by fans over the years, and we are proud to have finally made it available in high quality sound.

Enjoy!

Currently you can only grab a copy at iTunes, Amazon, and CDBaby, but eventually you will be able to get the song at all of the usual places: Last.fm, Napster, Rhapsody, Emusic, MediaNet, and Verizon.

We’ll update this post with the links as they come in. So be sure to visit again, if it hasn’t appeared on your favorite spot yet.

If you’d like to support the band, in addition to picking up the song, you can also help by writing a review on iTunes, CDBaby, and/or Amazon

Earlier this past October we announced that we would be releasing a handful of tracks that had not been released widely, or were tracks that we enjoyed but felt did not fit well into the new album, so we decided to release these separately as singles.

Fire Bolt (live) is the second of these tracks. It was recorded while we performed at The Zebra Lounge in Bozeman, Montana during our 2002 West Coast tour.

This performance features Wa Conner on drums and percussion, Jessica Griffin-Conner (aka Raven Nightshado) on keyboards and synths, and Eric Drake on keyboards and synths.
